50 mg of **Zinc** per tablet is a hefty dose — well above the 15–30 mg range typically studied for immune support, wound healing, and skin health. Zinc has strong clinical evidence behind it, with meta-analyses showing it can shorten common cold duration by roughly a third.

The citrate form absorbs reasonably well — not top-tier like picolinate or bisglycinate, but adequate for most purposes. One tablet daily keeps it simple.

The important detail: 50 mg exceeds the tolerable upper limit of 40 mg per day. Taking this daily over months can interfere with your copper absorption, potentially causing its own set of problems. If you're using this long-term rather than for short-term immune support, pairing it with 1–2 mg of copper and discussing the dose with your doctor is worth doing.
